RoundRobin: AndroidCentral's Casey Chan Goes BOLD!

on 9 Dec 2008 05:22 PM

[ This is an official Smartphone Round Robin post! Every day you reply to an official Round Robin blog post or forum thread on CrackBerry.com, you automatically gain an entry ballot for a chance to win a BlackBerry Bold, Spare Bold Battery, and Case Mate Second Skin! ]

I had Casey's T-Mobile G1 last week and this week he's using my BlackBerry Bold. On the first Smartphone Round Robin Roundtable Podcast Casey voiced a bit of skepticism that the Bold's display would be as impressive as everyone was making it out to be. But once he finally got his hands on the device... well... you'll just have to click on over to Android Central to hear for yourself what he had to say!

You can leave a comment here for your chance to win a Bold or better yet, you can also drop Casey a comment for your chance to win a T-Mobile G1 (spread those odds out!). Keep in mind, if you win the G1 you could probably sell it/trade it in for a new BlackBerry :-)

I could use an unlocked Bold as it seems the 8830 I use now will never have an upgraded OS that would help my business run better.

A free bold , yeah

The Round Robin is such a great idea. Be nice to win a Bold :)

I'm a longtime treo user, but I am mighty impressed by the screen on the Bold. Someday I hope phones will become like PCs, where you can sort of build your own depending on what features you want. In the meantime, thank goodness for these round robins to help us decide!

I just got my storm about two weeks ago and im totally in love with it. Its amazing. I totally get why people call them crackberry's. I'm sure the Bold is amazing too, but I'm happy with my storm =)

win a Bold
trade it for a Javelin

Posted by trpdnabx Tuesday, Dec 09, 2008 1160 days ago

Nothing compares to the Bold screen!!!!

Posted by robrowald Tuesday, Dec 09, 2008 1160 days ago

If Verizon carried the Bold, I would have gotten it but i had to "settle" for the Storm :)
I really like the bold, a friend of mine has one and it seems like a really good example of how kit should be made

Posted by Nyisles84 Tuesday, Dec 09, 2008 1160 days ago

Looking forward to the Niagra :)

Posted by Dimietriev Tuesday, Dec 09, 2008 1160 days ago

I do agree with him, the icons do look very similar and could use some differentiation.

Posted by JDMaker1 Tuesday, Dec 09, 2008 1160 days ago

I could use an unlocked Bold. T-Mobile hasn't gotten around to hooking us 8820 owners up with an OS above 4.2. Maybe Crackberry could help me out.

Posted by truantrebellion Tuesday, Dec 09, 2008 1160 days ago

Frankly I have to say I'm really stoked on the round robin idea you guys have in play. Helps give a bit of a more well-rounded view on what it's like to use a multitude of devices, too bad I don't have a plethora of friends that use fancy phones. ;)

This whole having to choose my carrier based on the devices they support thing is getting old, though.

I bet you can't wait to get your Bold back. I couldn't be without a BlackBerry for that long.

I want one of these so bad!! B-day is coming up in a week, so please please please!! Ha ha.

Posted by jnieves Tuesday, Dec 09, 2008 1160 days ago

Everyone likes the BOLD. I didn't like it at the beginning but now I really want one.

Posted by aragon7 Tuesday, Dec 09, 2008 1160 days ago

The only thing that can beat the screen of the Bold is another blackberry!

Posted by PhantomS10 Tuesday, Dec 09, 2008 1160 days ago

I like the Bold but as a loyal Verizon user I will have to trade it for a Storm. Either way I get rid of this Treo 700p.

Posted by Aspyred Tuesday, Dec 09, 2008 1160 days ago

All this talk about the Bold's screen! Dang, I've never seen one in action. Here's hoping I'll be able to win one and report back.

Posted by gvegas864 Tuesday, Dec 09, 2008 1160 days ago

I went to 2 different At&T stores to play with this phone. The screen is like a mini HDTV. If I don't win one I will be buying this phone for Christmas!

he likes the bold! lol

Posted by JD_Berry Tuesday, Dec 09, 2008 1160 days ago

He sure does like the Bold's screen! But why wouldn't he? It is amazing when you watch a good movie or video on it.

I WANT A BB BOLD SOOO BAD

Posted by dkongo31 Tuesday, Dec 09, 2008 1160 days ago

I dont know how he could ever doubt the screen on the Bold

Posted by dstrauss Tuesday, Dec 09, 2008 1160 days ago

I'll never understand the facination, and preference, for Gmail over any version of BB email. It's one of the biggest reason I'm back to crackberries instead of my iPhone 3g.

Posted by zanon Tuesday, Dec 09, 2008 1160 days ago

Bold is great!

Posted by UrbanNewz Tuesday, Dec 09, 2008 1160 days ago

besides the barcode scan feature, the Bold is better hands down. Casey...you already know.

Posted by deacon Tuesday, Dec 09, 2008 1160 days ago

Sass that hoopy phone.

Posted by schaidshaw02 Tuesday, Dec 09, 2008 1160 days ago

They all cross over in the end:)

Posted by D$ Tuesday, Dec 09, 2008 1160 days ago

I will take it and love it and sleep with it and give it hugs and kisses...

Posted by TeritaM Tuesday, Dec 09, 2008 1160 days ago

I'm really not understanding what the big whoop is over touchscreens. Different strokes I guess.

Posted by laurenmac Tuesday, Dec 09, 2008 1160 days ago

The Bold screen lives up to the hype every time I see it.

Posted by Kronk Tuesday, Dec 09, 2008 1160 days ago

This is me replying to the post.

Posted by tjk Tuesday, Dec 09, 2008 1160 days ago

the bold is just too sexy

Posted by tek1231 Tuesday, Dec 09, 2008 1160 days ago

I'm not gonna lie...this is one impressive Blackberry.

Posted by jprintz215 Tuesday, Dec 09, 2008 1160 days ago

this is by far the sickest phone out right now. i am a verizon person and i wish i could get this phone for my network.. i am going to be stuck with the storm... doesn't that sound like a bummer... either way blackberries are the best smartphones and i would take a bold or storm over anyother smartphone any day!

Posted by ChuckH0308 Tuesday, Dec 09, 2008 1160 days ago

The Bold really is a nice device. If it were on Verizon I might have opted for it over the Storm since I'm generally not a huge fan of touchscreen. I do really like the Storm too though, despite having to constantly clean the screen! :)

Posted by st6868 Tuesday, Dec 09, 2008 1160 days ago

Now that I'm on a Blackberry (Storm), I'm very happy with the Blackberry UI. You can keep your android...

Posted by cckeeper2 Tuesday, Dec 09, 2008 1160 days ago

good to see how great the bold really is. i wish i had my hands on one!

Posted by gtshouse Tuesday, Dec 09, 2008 1160 days ago

The screen is impressive

Posted by joluismachado Tuesday, Dec 09, 2008 1160 days ago

Bold is the Best

Posted by Nolan T Tuesday, Dec 09, 2008 1160 days ago

I really want a Bold!
